Was playing a live £25 freezeout at local poker club last night and had the following situation.
About mid-way through (expect bubble in about 1 hour ish from experience) the tournament. People have stacks ranging from 5BB-80BB. Over the last 15ish hands I had gone all in 5 times previous with stack ranging between 10-20BB. All sensible (I think) situations, e.g. people limping my BB; over the top of an aggressive player open raising the cutoff; being on the button multiway and everyone checking flop and turn, etc. No one has seen any of my hands yet and all starting the “I’m going to call you with anything soon”. We are 6 handed and I get JJ and am first to act preflop with 21BB. Thinking I’ve done enough to get looked up at some stage soon I just jammed the lot in thinking if I get called and double up then I will get safely past the bubble considering the players on my table. The question I have is have I overplayed this situation? Am I still just getting called by hands that are beating me? Obviously AA, KK, QQ and AK are all calls, but what about other pairs and A’s after my “all-in” image?
As it happens The guy in the SB calls with AA which held up but I left happy that if the cards were reversed I would still have got the same action, but this morning I am not sure. Any comments greatfully recieved.
Should probably also mention that both the blinds are about 20BB each and antes have kicked in a while ago.

Hnads that will call you;
AA-88, AK, AQ, and don't be surprised to be snapped off by 77-88 and AJ as these live low buy-ins most people generally suck.
